Am I Being Unreasonable?

Brilliantly written and observed, the chaos surrounding the lives of Nic (Daisy May Cooper) and Jen (Selin Hizli) are perfectly set against the backdrop of English village life. Great piece of writing by them both, and so well played. It may confuse some as it doesn't fit in the normal simple genre boxes, this is as life is, funny, dark, weird, confusing, heartwarming and it's simply something to enjoy without constraints. Ollie (Lenny Rush) absolutely steals every scene he is in and was perfectly cast. If you liked 'Dead to Me' then you will love this (and if you like this and have not seen 'Dead to Me' give that a watch).

Wow this was great. Idk what I was expecting but this was even better. Daisy Mae Cooper is a great writer, this was nothing like 'This Country' but just as good, full of twists and turns. The editing was superb and really elevated the storytelling. Funny and gripping, I binged it all in an evening, a great blend of comedy and thriller. The story progressed at the perfect pace, without feeling too over the top or unnatural. Kid was amazing, his comedic performance felt very mature and he had great chemistry with Daisy, they literally felt like a real mother and son. Similarly was the realationship between the female leads.

Cooper & Hizli's darkly twisted comedy about a toxic friendship, a toxic marriage and toxic secrets is an inconsistent beast and does not always hit the right mark - but a fantastic cast (particularly national-treasure-in-waiting Lenny Rush and the brilliantly unpleasant Dustin Demri-Burns) anchored by the two writer's own magnetic presence and some smart unfolding mysteries keeps it very watchable throughout. Where the series can go from here is an intriguing prospect because it's hard to argue with accusations that it didn't quite tie everything (or, indeed, anything) up by the last episode.

Anyone who doesn't get this is just not meant to get it. It is beautifully, weirdly random and is a DARK comedy. It has an ACTUAL plot and back story despite what some may say - there is an unintelligent critics' review - IGNORE THIS - Daisy May is AMAZING as is Lenny Rush, who plays her son. Even the 'cameo' characters are hilarious. The writing is BRILLIANT and is timed well for Hallowe'en. Watch this if you are INTELLIGENT and love random, well written comedy, acted naturally. The set is strangely mellow and somewhat 'League of Gentlemen', with a sinister edge. I was hooked immediately and think anyone who likes clever, unusual writing will too!

I stumbled across this little gem when browsing for something different to watch. I am gkad I gound it as it really hit the spot. I thought the combo of humour and horror was perfectly balanced. It was very well cast, well acted and kept me intrigued. The ending was unpredictable and shocking although I was a little bewildered about Alex's reasons but I still thougarily enjoyed the series. It left me wanting more and I hope a second season will be commissioned. The kids were great especially. Ollie. I am sure others will agree he was the star of the show. I highly recommend this show to those who like a well acted dark comedy.
